Breathtakingly beautiful; a true gem of the fandom. God, this has me all sentimental. It almost brought me to tears a few times; I dunno, it just sort of connected with me in a way few stories can. I'm still reeling over here and I think you have an unarguable talent for looking into Usagi's mind and plucking out our favorite heroine's essence... what makes her tick; what makes her love. It's impressive, to say the least. Thank you for sharing this piece and I certainly hope you continue to write Sailor Moon fanfiction, if only once in a while. Your literary prowess is reason enough, but you have many fans and I'm sure all would jump at the chance to savor one more classic :)

I absolutely love this fic. It's a perfect character study of Usagi. You've done a wonderful job, especially with the confusing Sailorcosmos - Galaxy Cauldron thing. I especially loved the lines about mothers, and this one concerning Kenji's attitude towards Mamoru: "(even though he's a reincarnated prince and a promising medical student, no man is good enough for his baby)". Ain't that the truth?

*Squeals* I love it! I love how you keep both Ikuko and Queen Serenity in the light, and how you have manga and anime elements. I also enjoyed the bits and pieces that make Usagi deeper than she seems. Wonderful!

That was the best discription of Serena and her life that I've ever sean

Sophia, you know you're one of my favorite authors, but to be perfectly honest, I didn't really care for this story very much. Not that it wasn't nicely written or anything like that, it just seemed awkward. There's a reason people don't employ second person narrative. Very few can pull it off, and I didn't think this story was up to the task. And using the present tense didn't really help either. However, the idea behind the fic was wonderful and there were nice moments of emotion and characterization here and there. If the songfic had been written in a more conventional style, it might have been better.

Speaking of songfics, I also felt the story would have been better without the song, but that just might be a personal bias against most songfics and through no fault of your own (although I did like your other songfic). I just didn't think the lyrics added anything to the story.

A beautiful story. I enjoyed reading the thoughts of Usagi. It's a story we've all thought of - even read! - a hundred times, but your eloquence takes it to a higher level. It was also nice to see some of the thoughts of Ikuko. I cannot wait to read more of your writings.
